Hi All,
Was hoping I could get some advise on my current situation.
First a Little History - I applied through the FSW program and was granted a COPR around the 5th of January. Will be landing in April End with my wife and kids , to complete the landing process and start life on the other side. BTW we are Indians living in Saudi Arabia. My parents are retired live with me in Saudi.
Now the problem : Since i wasn't sure how to go about applying for their TRV, i asked a family friend in Canada to issue a invite letter , i showed my proof of funds , as well as the fact that i was sponsoring them financially by showing my bank statements and sent of the TRV for processing. My Dad is retired and hence my bank statement.
The Application came back 33 Days later exactly , with a rejection showing the following reasons
Travel History - ( Since they are retired , they dont travel much accept twice a year to India)
Immigration Status in the country of residence ( They are under my sponsorship , if i leave so do they)
Purpose of Visit - I put down 3 months , thinking that i would initially send them , and follow them and they could be with me and the family while i set up in Canda and they would come back before the start of Winter.
Now that the TRV is rejected , how do you propose i go about applying again. I was thinking of reapplying with a LOE - letter of explanation that their circumstances of changed and they would like to join their sons family as he immigrates and then will go back to India , but then im worried that it will show weakness in the ties of home country category.
Any help will be much appreciated.
